I didn't particularly like Waugriffs RPG because of the all the gay faggit items he had. Like the armor that gave 1001 defense. That has teh word GAY written all over it.

right now im adding some cameras that will be behind the character fixing some lighting and some new screen shots will be added. It does look a lot better now than the above screen shots, those make the game look like shit, but the new look the game has kind of looks like Tides of Serpants open RPG, but the cameras a little far back so you can target your team mates easier. Daylight has been disabled to bring out the maps effects. It looks really nice with all the glowing Props and stuff. Also I finished a small portion of materia. Ice 1, Ice 2, Ice 3. Just the part about how much cooldown I should give them. Im not sure, i don't want to make it long because materia wastes inventory space, having a long cooldown would make the item almost useless, also having too short of a cooldown will make a mage too powerful.

Also my open RPG will be the first to feature a skills system, depending on your
class you will have different skills... Example below..

Warrior:

Weapon Skill: Depends on how often you will hit your target. This is a basic system that will have a nice twist to my RPG. If the monster is level one then you will have a nice chance of hitting it. If the monster is like 5X stronger then chances are you'll be missing A LOT.

Tactics Skill: Will raise the damage you deal on the target. This is a damage multiply system. It will Multiply the damage you deal by the amount of skill you have. So if you have 150 damage, and 50% skill, then it will multiply .5 by 150, which is 30 bonus damage on the attack. This is not a lot but combined with the anatomy skill it can deal much more. Chaos damage as well, so if the target has a lot of armor it will be useful.

Anatomy Skill: Knowing the right spot to strike a target is important, so if you hit the right spot then you will deal a more sufficient damage. This will add whatever your skill % is to your attack. So the max is obviously 100+ damage, this is chaos damage as well. So if the target has a lot of armor it will be useful.

Shield Skill: Obviously you need to know how to block attacks with your shield. This will cancel out an amount of damage. That the attacking unit will deal. Though the percent of damage it cancels out is random. It will pick a random integer 1 - [theamountofskill] , then it will divide that by 100, then it will take the answer and multiply that by the damage dealt, and it will add it back to your health. So it will look like this:

damage dealt 50
amount of skill 10
random integer 1 - 10 = 6
6 divided by 100 is .06
50 X .06 =3 hit points returned.

-Advanced Level-

Damage Dealth 50
amount of skill 100
random integer 1 - 100 = 76
76 divided by 100 = .76
50 X .76 = 38 hit point returned, thats more than 50% of the damage dealt.


Though it will be very hard to raise your skills, you'll prolly be able to get to around 70% of each regularly easy but after that it's going to take really strong enemies and really huge amount of luck to get them to 100%.


I really like the new look of this game, I hope you guys all will too when i post the next screen shots. The above screen shots were dissapointing but the next ones won't be. Cya later.

I've nerfed the Terrain Balanced a lot of fucking units and even took some new Screen Shots

Before a level 40 creature (the marbolo) could kill a party of 6 level 40 Cloud Strifes. That's how much nuking had to be done. Anyways without further adew new Screens.

I also Added Mining to the game, choosing this skill will allow you to dig on certain mining spots. There are 7-8 types of metal you can get.


I don't know why but it's saying the screenshots are 700+ Kb each... When they are really less then 100 Kb Each... Weird, you can still view them as quick as you could view a smaller file as well, something must be wrong, it must be reading the filespace wrong or summin...

New Accomplishments. Every Ore you can Mine and every Ingot you can smelt have been created, with custom icons.

You must choose to be a blacksmith at the begining of the game to be able to Smelt ore, but anyone can mine it.

Mine Ore > Smelt Ore > Trade with other Player or Craft.

Blacksmithy skill will go up to 100, after certain levels you will need better more rare materials to raise your blacksmith skill...

For those rare blacksmithies who reach 100 skill, I'm thinking about giving them the oppurtunity to craft Really Rare items like Excaliburs, of course at the expense of EXTREMELY rare items.

Valorite (Blue Ore) is the rarest ore, you will probably only have a 1% chance to get it, and the rock you must mine will be out in fuck town. So if you want to even have a chance to get it, your gonna need to be at least level 200-300 to fend off monsters and prolly gonna need a special Pick Axe.

There are about 10 different pick axes. In order to properly attain Valorite ore without luck, you will need to have a really rare type of pick axe which is only dropped from special enemies. These pick axes will increase your chance of getting Valorite by 7%, but they will have a limited amount of use.

The battle system is undergoing some changes as well...

I figured each character will have 5 abilities, and a Stat Boost, +1 Str, Agil, Int. Ect.

I figured out Kimahri won't have ANY special skills besides, the one that allows him to steal an enemy skill. There will be about 20 enemy skills Kimahri can obtain. All only level 1 though. So when you get further you have to remove your abilities and steal some from stronger creatures. Like Ultima or Firaga.

Summoners are going to use Red Materia to summon monsters. And I made an inventory system that has 2 pages. So you can hold 10 items, only 5 will be active at a time.

Real quick Screen

=P your a shoe in, you've helped with with so much stuff, course you'll be beta testing.

I'm going to start working on Blacksmithy in a sec, I decided you can only major in one ability, and you cannot use any other abilities. If your a blacksmith you can't be a tailor. Only because of the save code, It's already going to be adding around 6-7 digits to the save code for a working skill...

New screenshots of Omnislash, I did have to tinker with it a lot. THe attack deals 2X more damage, and he teleports from point to point to cut his targets. Its at a beta stage as of now. I'm posting Screenshots Below... It was very hard to capture the screen though, being because the ability is so fast. But I tried anyways.
